Fishing Station, Logan Mills

This building comprises a former fishing store and boathouse, constructed sometime between 1848 and 1894. It is located next to the western shoreline of Luce Bay, on the Rhins of Galloway peninsula. A single-storey, T-plan former fishing station cottage stands to the south of the boathouse.

The building is two storeys high and rectangular in shape, built of red brick. The north elevation has three bays, with a pedimented entranceway breaking the roofline centrally on the first floor, flanked by small window openings. A walkway leads into the building at first-floor level; larger window openings are located on either side on the ground floor. The south elevation features four window openings and two blocked-up entrance openings at ground floor level, with two smaller windows above. A replacement boathouse door faces the shore on the east elevation, added after 2011, while the west elevation has a single opening with a replacement door at ground floor level.

Some window openings are blocked and others contain multi-pane glazing in the upper half with louvred sections below. The piended roof is covered in grey slates, with red sandstone ridging and two rooflights in the southern roof pitch.

The interior brickwork is largely whitewashed, exposing the roof trusses and rafters. The first floor has timber flooring, while the ground floor features a partially concreted dirt floor.

The remains of a slipway leading to the shore may survive to the east.

Historically, Logan Mills belonged to the Logan estate and was originally owned by the McDouall family of Logan House. They held fishing and netting rights in Luce Bay, both east and west of the Rhins of Galloway peninsula. The boathouse first appears on Ordnance Survey maps from 1894, suggesting it was built after 1848 and before that date, likely replacing an earlier corn kiln. A timber shelter once adjoined the south elevation of the boathouse, but was removed by 2023, having been partially roofless by 2011. Development proposals are currently in place to demolish the adjacent fishing station cottage.
